What strange perplexities arise!

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #276 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What strange perplexities arise! What anxious fears and jealousies! What crowds in doubtful light appear! How few, alas, approv'd and clear! 2 And what am I?--my soul, awake, And an impartial survey take. Does no dark sign, no ground of fear, In practice or in heart appear? 3 What image does my spirit bear? Is Jesus form'd and living there? Say, do His lineaments divine In thought, and word, and action shine? 4 Searcher of hearts, O search me still; The secrets of my soul reveal; My fears remove; let me appear To God and my own conscience clear!
